  1. Answer:

    1160mg

    Explanation:

    Molarity = number of moles ÷ volume

    According to the information in the question, molarity = 1.25 M, volume = 18.0 mL = 18/1000 = 0.018L

    M = n/V

    n = M × V

    n = 1.25 × 0.018

    n = 0.0225moles.

    Using mole = mass/molar mass, to find the mass of lithium phosphide (Li3P)

    Molar mass of Li3P = 6.9(3) + 31 = 51.7g/mol

    mole = mass/molar mass

    0.0225 = mass/51.7

    mass = 1.16grams.

    In milligrams (mg), mass of Li3P = 1.16 × 1000 = 1160mg
